Sterilization

Orthodontic SterilizersTo help maintain everyone’s health and safety we take sterilization seriously in this office. Aseptic technique starts with touch free hand washing taps to avoid cross-contamination. We use gloves and other disposable protective barriers to prevent transmission of microscopic agents of disease. We accommodate patients with latex sensitivities. All of our instruments are sterilized using state of the art methods. We have chemical sterilizers, heat sterilizers and steam sterilizers that are monitored regularly for effectiveness by a testing program administered by the University of Alberta . If one of our sterilizers breaks down we are prepared, we have two of each type of sterilizer in our sterilization area. Our sterilization area is large enough to be designed so that the sterilized instruments are physically separated from the ones that are waiting to be cleaned.
